Campaigning
Roads and transport in general are very hotly debated topics, nowhere more so than on the internet. The sites linked to below are a small selection of the numerous campaigns demanding action for, against and about roads. CBRD remains impartial on these issues.
ABD (Association of British Drivers)
The ABD promotes the rights and interests of the British motorist and is the most vocal part of the pro-motoring lobby in the UK. As such it is worth visiting as a general representation of the 'motorists lobby'. It has some interest in road construction but also promotes legal and policy change.
Learn-2-Live
Learn-2-Live campaigns for compulsory motorway driving tuition. Includes guidance on how to be a better driver and evidence of some of the poor driving that can be found on Britain's roads.
Road Alert
A campaign opposed to current government roads policy and new road and runway construction, examining whether specific road projects are worth building. It also includes examples of past successes of such campaigns.
Road Block
Another anti-road construction campaign site, concentrating on practical ways to halt road building, mainly through protests. It is now an arm of Transport 2000 (see below).
Road Users' Alliance
A campaign established in 2002 attempting to secure sustained investment in the UK road network. It appears to be resuming the work done by the British Road Federation until the 1980s in lobbying for road construction.
Speedlimit
Peter Edwardson's considered writing on speed limits, traffic control and enforcement, and in particular speed cameras and traffic calming. Not the rant that is often found on the subject; instead Peter offers considered essays weighing the debate.
Transport2000
One of the UK's most venerable environmentalist campaigns opposing expansion of road transport. It stands out from most other organisations with similar aims by taking the time to put forward alternative solutions and carry out original research.
